lew Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) This is a bronze Tapferkeitsmedaille if not mistaken, but I don't recognize the ribbon on it. I have seen this medal on ordinary ribbon in red/white, also on blue/yellow ribbons similar to crown orders, but never with this purple/green ribbon, is it a particular variant for special case or just a mistake? if so does anyone recognize what is this purple/green ribbon for? The ribbon seems a tri fold and having the hook like the Austro-Hungarian mounting style. Edited June 2, 2014 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iver Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 can you make better photos of the ribbon? the hook on it seems like a copy one to me, but a better photo is needed .) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Hi Iver, this medal is not mine but you can see the extra large photos here.http://www.ebay.de/itm/Tapferkeitsmedaille-WW1-/111363206252?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=zNQdLLif1HmCNIYlwQOA8EhiX5Y%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc The reason of asking is because of a medal bar I have consists an identical ribbon, but I have no idea what medal should be there and I wondered if it could be for a bravery medal once I saw above pictures on eBay. Here is my medal bar.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/62550-ribbon-id/ Edited June 2, 2014 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) The Tapferkeitsmedaille has its own ribbon only, that is white with two red stripes; within them, alternated, very thin white and red horizontal stripes. The St. Stephen's ribbon visible in the pictures, looks like a modern one though... E.L. Edited June 9, 2014 by Elmar Lang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
